If it's 16' and you don't want it I'll take it. The price jumps quite a bit when you go from 14' to 16'. If it's in decent shape that's a deal.

I'd rather fish than eat.

if its welded (not riveted) and there are no substantial leaks, I would say it would be hard to go wrong at that price.

If its riveted i would look more closely and see what kind of shape the rivets are in. Even if it leaks, you could still jerry rig them with 5200.

If you need a boat and it floats, i would say its hard to go wrong at $300.

If no trailer I wouldn't get it. Your mom has no way to take you anywhere and does it have a motor and what hp? Does it crank easily? Tiller drive? Crank or electric start or push button? 2 or 4 stroke? What year makes a difference when you look for parts.

10' is to small for salt in my opinion.. and only your dad has the truck. Just pay my gas money AMD go with me whenever you want

Any chance I could get some contact info if you're not going to get the boat. I'm looking for a 10'.

Thanks
